Cherish Menzo - JEZEBEL
Registrations for members are closed.
JEZEBEL is a dance production inspired by the Video Vixens: provocative female models who appeared in hip-hop videos on MTV in the late 1990s. The Vixens danced scantily clad in music dominated by men. However, their influence was great: it was often the Vixens who determined the aesthetic of the videos and the popularity of the artist. They were hypersensual, strong and independent.
The dancer Cherish Menzo refuses to be defined by others in JEZEBEL. She navigates the landscape of hip-hop culture, searching for ways to claim her image for herself. Can Jezebel deconstruct the controversial stereotype associated with the black “hip-hop honey”?
